Jean-Christophe Garnier 'Bezigon Chenin' 2023 Loire Valley, France

Taste: Notes of baked green apples, a little richness with the smallest hint of honey and chamomile, backed up by mouth-watering freshness, a hallmark of any great Chenin..

Grapes: Chenin Blanc

Place: Loire Valley, France

Story: Made naturally using an old wooden press, Garnier's wines can be very lightly oxidative. Most likely either aged in stainless or concrete, the wine is all about fresh and clean Chenin Blanc. The harvest was plentiful enough in '23 for Jean-Christophe that he was able to make this wine with fruit he didn't use for his single-vineyard whites. Direct, chiseled and spot on for Anjou Chenin expression.
